Twenty-two Broadway FFA members and their Agriculture Education teachers, Janae Bickhart and Herb Hoffeditz, participated in a field experience with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River on Monday, April 25.    

After a short river safety presentation, the students boarded canoes. Students traveled five miles down stream in their canoes and conducted macroinvertebrate surveys along the way.  

The purpose of the field experience was for students to make a connection between agricultural practices and Chesapeake Bay water quality. In addition, Best Management Practices (BMPs) were observed to see how each practice helps protect river quality.
